Beautiful Life

I have hope when I wake up
I'm crying by the night
Something 'bout the light
Being drained from the sky
Yet the darkest night yields to
The loveliest sunrise
And both joy and sorrow make this a beautiful life

Like yesterday I remember
When he left this Earth
The tears on my sweater
The stained glass lining the church
He smiled through the rain
Laid himself down for his wife
Through my sorrow it's clear
That his joy hasn't died
And his new home's even better than
This beautiful life

Everybody sits in the shower
From time to time
Regret like a broken record
Plays in the back of a wistful mind
But a spoonful of sugar
Helps the medicine go down
Ever feel a little lost
On the road to being found?
It's in choosing to stay standing
Through the trials & the strife
Cause joy and sorrow make this a beautiful life

No season lasts forever
The sun will set & it'll rise
Like a puddle in the desert
The teardrops always dry
Though it's all they could ask for
Mom & Dad are sad to see their child grown
That they find the yellow brick road
Is all a parent hopes to know

Bitter & sweet, they always teach
We're blessed to be alive
And joy and sorrow make this a beautiful life

Oh how I love
This beautiful life
